MARY E. RADICK, OF WHITE PLAINS. NEW YORK DOLLS HEAD.

Lilli-3,412.

Application filed January 20. 1915.

To all whom it may concern 0 it known that l, MARY E. Ramon, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of lVhite Plains, in the county of lVestchester and State of.New York, have invented a new and Improved Doll's Head, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact dcscri pti on.

My invention relates to doll heads adapted to give more than one facial expression to the doll.

An object of the invention is to provide a doll head having a plurality of faces, each having a different expression with means whereby any one of the faces may be exposed while the others are covered so that the child can give different facial expressions to its doll. as for example, the doll's head may have one face expressing happi: ness and the other sorrow, etc.

With the above and other objects in view. the nature of which will more fully appear as the description proceeds, lhe invention consists in the above construction. combina tion and arrangement of parts as herein fully described. illustrated and claimed.

in the accompanying drawings forming part of the application similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views. and Figure l is a perspective view of my doll head embodying the invention: Fig. 2 is a perspective view as seen without the. wig. and looking! on to the other faces of the dolls head: Fig. I is a vertical section through the dolls headshowing the smiling face exposed while the unsmiling face is covered by the wig: Fig. 4 is a similar section to Fig. 3 but showing the sci-rowing face exposed, the smiling face being covered by the wig.

Referring to the drawings 5 represents a dolls head having two diametrically opposite faces 6 and 7, one face ha ving an expression different from the other, and which expressions can be varied to suit individual tastes. A wig R is pivotally connected to the dolls head at the apex of. the head by means of a pin 9 having a head 10 and a split end 11, the head of the pin retaining, the wig against the head, while the pin forms the axis on which the wig is mounted to swing or turn. The pin 9 is retained in position by opening up the split ends ll of the pin Specification of Letters Patent.

against the washer l2 bearing against the inner surface of the dolls head adjacent the apex; thus a free turning: movement of the wi, is obtained. The win; 8 is large enough to entirely cover the other face or faces, and only expose one of the faces as shown in Fig. 1. It. is self evident that any other suitable means for pivotally attaching the wig 8 may be provided, and that any style of wig can be used in connection with the dolls head provided the wig covers substantially the other face or faces. child desiring to expose a. fare normally cover d by the wig 8 simply takes hold of the wig and shifts the same to uncover the face originally covered. This movement of the wig will automatieally cover the other face which was originally exposed. leaving the originally covered fare exposed. It is self evident that any combination of facial expressions can be obtained to suit the individual taste of a child. which in combination with the swing,- ing wig will permit the child to expow any one of the faces while the others are unexposed.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawions, the advantage of the construi ion and operation of the device '--'lll)-.\". ll in readily understood b those skilled thart to \Vl'lli'll the invention p rtains; and while t have described the principle of operation together with the features which T now consider to be the best embodiment thereof, I desire to have it understood that the device shown is merely illustrative, and that such changes may be made as are within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is- 'l. A doll head having two faces diametrically opposite, the expression of said faces being different, a wig pi votally connected to the apex of the dolls head whereby the same can be moved on thehead and thereby expose one of the faces while the other is covered by the Wig.

2. A doll head having two faces diametrically opposite, a pin at the apex of the dolls head, a wig associated with the pin and turnable thereon. said wig adapted to cover any one of the faces while exposing the other substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

3. A doll head hit-wing a plurality of faces, name to th s 5pc Emiim n the, presence of :1 wig mounted to swing on the apex of the [Wfi -;ul.=:;c 1hing GUM-RS611. head, said wig adaptsd to mqmse any one MARV F of the faces Wmle CU"CZ'ZR[ the other faves 5 subsiantiafiy as and. 131* the pnrpoz re set forth.
